Lauren Attempts CrossFit

[@michaultrarunner8608]

I've read a lot of these negative comments about crossfit, all I know is that after 8 weeks I as so much stronger and faster. I have wonderful coaches who have also taught me about nutrition. I have never felt better.

[@RandyMass]

"What are we working here?" "Everything. That's CrossFit."

[@jahvick2107]

That's CrossFit aka 99% bullshit.

[@GainsGoblin]

+runskidisc are you telling me you believe that sumo deadlift variant works your whole body

[@AnimeAdictProduction]

1:38 "What are we working here?" On shoulder impingement. An important part of every Crossfitter's life.

[@aresa1577]

Oana Mitrache Ahaha, nice! The guys answer is comedic gold too "Everything. It's Crossfit."

[@andrewfisher674]

Ares A Yeah really, I had a nice laugh. "Everything, its crossfit and im better than you, duh".

[@ScreenQueen813]

haha...lol. Lauren matching her grunting on the row machine was funny.

[@qwerty30210]

Lauren, you are a great host for this type of gig. Keep it up, I can easily see bigger and better things in hosting for you!

[@LazyBadgerTV]

I can understand why people hate on Crossfit, but I still enjoy doing it. I do my compound muscle building movements first, then Crossfit for cardio. I always scale down heavier WOD's so I can perfect form. Plus being 6'6" really makes it a pain to do any type of pull-up, so pass unless they're strict.XD For people hating, I recommend they try it, but instead of going for time or lifting as much weight as possible, just focus on completing the workout with minimal rest time, its practically circuit training, just with a different name.

[@WagyuMamaRanch]

Badger sounds like regular CrossFit you do bro lol. I think everyone needs to find a decent box to go to and see what CrossFit, performed correctly, is like...which sounds pretty close to what you do. Everyone wanna be a “Games” athlete and forget how to just train “CrossFit” standards. 🤷‍♂️

[@wakeislander]

great job! I think the best part about first timers is them finishing the WOD. No matter if its the first time or the thousand time, always the best feeling at the end!

[@nelsonsuarez9237]

I remember watching you on fb like 4 years ago on fb when I was a senior in hs. glad you are doing well on youtube and like I said 4 years ago...you are a 10/10 :)

[@TrevCCook]

Your face when he explained the work/rest ratio was priceless, Lauren. FGB is no joke; did it this past Thursday. Great job pushing through!

[@TheBeckyMc]

Love watching your videos - just great - you put everything into all of the challenges!

[@bruceliem]

Shes fit,tall, beautiful, and has a lovely personality.

[@The_Lonely_Texas_Pagan]

I have to say you impress me yet again. Amazing workout!

[@Ricky07070909]

Give it your ALL Lauren! Beauty is when you give your MAX not when you are in front of the cameras or when you are with other people. Good job!

[@shanedich3660]

This is one of my favourite workouts!

[@onebbqshape]

Awesome job Lauren!!!

[@LukeEustace]

Awesome vid and the woman you went up against is more stacked than most dudes I know. Great job Lauren!

[@jacobmatthewseymour]

That was hilarious! So fun to watch this.

[@samirahkhair8090]

You did an amazing job!!!!

[@christopherlynnjohnson2706]

Great workout

[@TheSebbulloN]

Wow! You must realy have the best job in the world!? And very nice videos!

[@GillianSyourshare]

Great going Lauren - you are inspiring.

[@fredakos]

Great work over there.Someone should have done it to prove that crossfit its not only for champs !Crossfit is for everyone.Well done Lauren!

[@smaluk9]

awesome video, great job!

[@Mo_Arfan]

great effort and your awesome

[@mattkaia1932]

"Love your vids Lauren."Your amazing.love from London UK.😎

[@kas___xx]

-"what we are working on?" -"everything. that's crossfit"

[@4343caleb]

You killed it, yet again. The Navy seal boot camp was BA but this was top notch good job . I just had to give you a shout out! you should grab Reel Camera to get soem POV shots of your work outs..

[@sgtcrab1]

Lauren is just a delight!

[@TheWeaponL]

@3:56 "Why would anybody want to do this?" Lol, that gave me a good chuckle, but that's also how you know that you're fully challenging yourself. Much respect.

[@10coolfacts]

Damn this chick is awesome, not many first timers can handle a workout like that. Love the push on the rower at the end. You can always tell what someone is really made out of at the end of a CrossFit workout.

[@Sodiumreactor]

Shes not exactly your "average" first timer though. This girl has gone though many many different types of activities and workouts. Its probably got her body conditioned to recover quickly and be able to handle just about anything she throws at it.

[@vegasilkit]

Awesome Lauren! Was nice to see you break out in a "slight gloss of perspiration" LOL! I wonder what the level was for next day stiffness? Great effort!

[@KeithFine10]

Nice Job !!

[@humblesquires]

"In crossfit we have standards for everything" probably the most ironic sentence ever uttered.

[@BlackSmithPagma]

Sooo true, the only standard for them is "the more fucked up, the better."

[@johnnykuhn9111]

That was a great question by the girl asking what the exercise is working. If all crossfitties did that, and they heard bullshit answers like "uh, everything, it's crossfit", more people would realized how unfocused and silly this whole thing is. It's also fitting that she asked that while he was doing those ridiculous sumo high pulls. One of the most worthless exercises that crossfitties preach.

[@JohnVandivier]

so awesome. I'm stealing this workout

[@goejeni]

ive done cross fit training in college and its tuff. lauren even though you looked exhausted at the end your still damn good at being fit, im pretty close to being intimidated, about being able to keep up with a wman such as yourself. thanks for doing these vids.

[@ibrahim007rb]

this was an awesome work, Can you please answer me, How did you feel in the next day?

[@janeo4490]

I started cross fit last week, its fun and very challenging... My first work out was friday, so it gave me enough reason to stay home the whole weekend.. I was soooooore! HA!

[@TechGeant]

nice video :D

[@crossfitcapecod]

You are a really good athlete!

[@miwatson007]

I've been doing crossfit for 6 years (before there was even a box in my city). I was recently injured for the first time. It was my fault for not listening to the coach who insisted that I drop the weight of the kettle bell in the WOD. I will say that at 45 I am in better overall shape than I was when I was 18 (although today I can't run a 50 second quarter like I could back then). All I can say is, science or no science, it works.

[@WanieB]

i figured you would scream wheres my milkshake! wow what a work out, good job and thanks for the video. gives an idea of what to expect.

[@Tejay911]

my first workout was fight gone bad too...not fun lol you did great though! Love how you are able to NOT keep your composure but keep going...that's how I do it :P

[@GASPItsmeagain]

"what are we working here?" "everything...its crossfit." love it hahaha

[@angelboi88]

Wow.. Excited to try crossfit!

[@petrosxalkitis5253]

Jenn is awesome coach!

[@matthortop559]

We have a pilates class at our crossfit gym. I like all sorts of exercise, crossfit just seems to fit me better at this point in my life.

how many rounds should i do in a day if i am new? and hould i do it like evry day? looks fun!

[@doniaka13]

Competing against Jenn is tough. She is the best! Love CrossFit Garden City !!!!!

[@inlovewithkarate29]

I am so glad you hung in there you did an execellent job.

[@michaultrarunner8608]

Yep love crossFit

[@AxSalasS]

Also gymnastic movements. I think they do inovate in a couple of moves, specially when it comes to "efficiency"(kipping), or setting standars in some movements, like box jump.

[@MrPennersteven]

Excellent job! That workout is always rough.

[@kalel33]

It actually happened to me. I was doing the Grace WOD and my form went a little bit during the workout. The main trainer was on vacation and the fill in wasn't watching my form very well. I was only thinking about crushing my previous time, which I did, but I later found out that I damaged a ligament in my back, which made my back muscles tighten up like a cramp. I went through physical therapy and in the end it was just time that I needed to fix it....2.5 years of time it took.

[@Kaitlin555]

You rock Lauren! I find CrossFit to be a bit elitist sometimes, but it was cool to see how you did and an example of one of their workouts.

[@CHEETAH69]

I like how this got real serious real fast!

[@1baboon1]

It should be changed to "Lauren succeeds at cross fit where others have failed hard". Great job!

[@berenjanito2]

I wanna try it :)

[@MacroholicsAnonymous]

I agree with all your criticisms. It grows, improves, and evolves every day.

[@Cookies205]

Plus who doesn't like competition? That is part of the motivation factor in crossfit; beating your friends, and seeing improvements in your life in and out of the box.

[@happyinlifeee]

good vibe

[@happyinlifeee]

gained new subscriber :)

[@samanthanguyen9327]

haters are gonna hate. Crossfit helps out with mobility, core strength, and many more. It is proven to be one of the most effective workouts out there. So try training for it for while and then see the results and how you feel. It's way better than using a machine or doing a lame bicep curl.

[@zoiesmith1494]

I see what your saying but cross fit is really dangerous and unhealthy if you don't know what to do / proper form . I understand if you have had extensive training in weightlifting before but if you just try to jump into it there is a good chance for injury . For instance I saw her doing the over head press wrong but what ever . ( I know because I weight lift / do HIIT workouts , so I'm not completely clueless )

[@kodeehowell28]

+Zoie Smith in all fairness that guy is not a very good coach. Been doing crossfit for a while now and none of my coaches would have let their clients form break down that much.

[@samanthanguyen9327]

Yes Kodee Howell​more my coaches are awesome. I agree totally.

[@zoiesmith1494]

I have thought about it but , my trainers for sports say you need to know the correct technique before you try doing anything for speed , I myself think its wrong if you go do crossfit without any previous back round in weight lifting correctly . However , all workouts work your core since it is a stability muscle :)

[@zoiesmith1494]

Samantha Nguyen ^^

[@brendacampbell3432]

It is amazing that some people think this is good for you. The lingo is cliche and they ignore her when she says it's too heavy and don't correct her when she is losing her form and that is not how to land properly for box jumps. It is an amazing business that has unfortunately taken off...but hey, at least it gives work to physios, osteos, massage therapists, insurance companies, etc etc.

[@cliintbeastw00d]

i have to agree. i love a woman who takes pride in her physique/trains.

[@JarrodMiller]

She did really well!

[@Rockw61]

tuff skilled and beautiful way to go Lauren

[@BassPlanetTV]

Lauren, you got Heart!!

[@Anishnabekwe86]

Lmao! Loved it!!

[@cascadehopsrule]

This is one thing I will never get. I don't care what you do, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding, but make sure there is PROPER FORM. This Lauren chick has terrible posture and this guy didn't give any corrective exercises. Most people have imbalances and bad posture because they have no clue what they are doing. Even the other chick, her shoulders aren't rolled like Lauren but she sure has APT.

[@harrywilkinson1100]

You can't sort poor posture in less than a day.

[@ATWA1337357]

nice, gj girl!

[@gbravy]

Lauren did really well having stepped to Fight Gone Bad. Pretty sharp learning curve there!

[@mauiwowielmsv]

You should try the spartan race or tough mudder!

[@MarlonBrando420]

I've been in and out of the gym for years and I can say for sure that crossfit even with

[@darkfar3t]

Amen!

[@timmgoenner2965]

In our school they changed sport from random games to crossfit, it is fuuun!

[@joyjoyjen]

At my CF gym they wont let us do anything unless our form is good!! My shoulders which have always had weakness and pain are now much stronger. My whole posture has improved!!

[@christopherlee9902]

The workout they just did was a benchmark workout and there really weren't any technical movements involved. Actually, a lot of their workouts fall into their "metabolic" classification where it's just rounds of running, calisthenics and movements with moderately/light resistance. I agree, though, that continuing to perform heavy snatches even when form breaks down is seriously begging for injury. That is where having good trainers/coaches and knowing your own limits is super important.

[@dragonfan1981]

This is WAAAAY better than Man vs Food.

[@CHEETAH69]

I think you're one of the lucky ones. I've been to classes where the room was packed with about 35 people and only two instructors were available. I think that it can be a great workout for some - like folks who are already pretty fit (and the fact that you could 315 in the deadlift, tells me you were pretty fit) But I worry about the weekend warrior with very little fitness or lifting background.

[@reifaaashooo]

"What are we working here?" "Everything." Okay, buddy.

[@adamwittman]

I'm all for people doing whatever makes them be active. Lets all keep the hate down and be happy people are being active.

[@clap5]

Anyone who usually hates on crossfit...has never done it before.

[@patb5266]

Really? Don't need to eat cow shit after I see a pile of to know I won't like it. Crossfit is bullshit and I've not seen one that looks like they are "fit"

[@clap5]

Go to any gym...over 90% of the members are not "fit". Are you fit?

[@patb5266]

Yea I'm one of the few that are fit actually. all the idiots that do the classes, be it butts and guts, of spin class or the Crossfit Type crap aren't. The instructor even has a gut! I don't see any of them lifting weights, NOT ONE. I did see one of these clowns try and do some kind of pull up thing where he tried to put his legs through his arm and almost feel off the bar. Best part was his gf was watching me and not him because I actually have muscle. the fittest men and women at my gym are the ones that lift!

[@clap5]

I body build, I do crossfit, I swim, and run compeititvely...I do MMA and yoga. I play sports, climb, camp, hike, bike, and stay active. I see plenty of body builders crossing over to crossfit or kettlebell. I can tell you that it's not easy.

[@patb5266]

Learning any new physical skill isn't always easy even if that person is fit. A crossfitter would feel the same thing learning a new skill. I don't know any bodybuilders that do crossfit. There's no point, why would a bodybuilder do "kipping pullups"? No point as not only ineffectual to building back muscle as there's no control, but from I've seen a sure fire way to cause shoulders problems. Same with kipping dips, the goal isn't to make it easier so one can count more reps. I guess if that's one's goal, then have at it, my muscle is every bit as "functional" as any of the cf people I've seen and in many cases more as I can actually do pullups from a dead hang and not struggle to barely mange one.

[@Idosify91]

She reminds me of Jessica Biel :)

[@MsCwebb]

+Idosify91 Genetically very similar

[@samcgilbert]

+Idosify91 right!

[@roninglx]

I was thinking the same thing

[@matthortop559]

Staying in shape isn't easy!!

[@juanmendoza4341]

Watching this is motivating me to get back into my SUPER HERO PHYSICAL FORM ,

[@IIDASHII]

"ooooohhhhh." translates - 'This workout is going to ROUGH." haha

[@meisjoe1]

It's almost like the person who invented crossfit said "hey, lets take everything we learned not to do in bodybuilding and make it a thing..."

[@lexiryder1240]

I was going to do cross fit once, but after eating a birthday cake all by myself I just cried in the dark and then took a nap.

[@kimcraft38]

i dont see how lauren doesnt have more subscribers. i thought she would have atleast 100,000

[@whiterabit09]

Well done! That is not an easy workout, especially for a first time....

[@drremen]

what happened to thumb distance?

[@bpare]

Her: "What are working here?" Him: "Everything, it's Crossfit" (DUHHH inner thought of baldy)

[@silentshotsss]

NICE!

[@Chumongocho]

Thousands of "fitness professionals" agree with it. This kind of training has been around long before you existed. It's only just recently been widely popularized.

[@graysonpylant3012]

you do realize that crossfit is relatively new and that there are alot of power lifting movements in crossfit so i believe what you mean to say is that the athletes include power lifts right? such as power clean, hang clean etc...power lifting and the movements have been around for much longer than crossfit so dont think every time you see a power clean or split jerk or any of those movement that its crossfit.

[@St4y0rLeav3]

That's why new crossfitters go through one-on-one training with coaches first before they join regular classes. Each workout is modified for individual needs. They don't just throw you in there and expect everyone to do the same workouts. If you're a beginner at running you wouldn't try to run a marathon, same concept applies here.

[@TheDuskmourn]

I was gonna say. Crossfit is inviting to everyone and it's scaleable as you saw even if you're way out of shape young or old, they encourage you to do things like yoga and lol they do cardio and strength training in their own way. Lol you're either trolling or a hater.

[@Rockw61]

i will im subbing

[@thewhistler9775]

I have crossfited for almost two years and I disagree. This argument has been presented many times to me, so here is my response; 1.) The price is worth it. I pay $100 a month, but used to pay $51 an hour for my personal trainer. 2.) I am not arguing that injury or improper training may have occured in specific cases, but in the 2 years our gym has been open we have not had a single incident. 3.) Form is stressed big time at my gym. They WILL stop you if your doing it wrong.
